Equipoise try #2

My first try at a video that might show the joy of arranging colors didn't work out because I was not able to capture the screen in Photoshop the same way each time and presenting colors randomly was not visually satisfying. So I decided to play a bit in Flash to see what might work there.

I didn't have a plan, just wanted to fool around to see some affects I have not tried before.

After a pretty short time I decided I liked the way the squares moved around and the way they came on to the screen but I definitely wanted to have a specific plan in the next attempt.

The music in this piece and yesterday's was chosen after I made the video just for fun. It is music that I can use, as it is copyright free, a very nice feature. I have a collection that I store in itunes and in this case I tried out those pieces that were the same length as my animation and found ones that seemed to be in the same spirit as the video.

In this blog I try to bring as many small paintings as I can manage to create - I'm shooting for 5 a week - to the great expansive world of the internet. You can see all the work I have created for this blog so far if you go to my web site. http://www.nancyherman.com
